Career PathwaysOne of the most effective ways to navigate among thousands of different occupations is through Career Pathways. Pathways are six broad groupings of careers that share similar characteristics and whose employment requirements call for many common interests, strengths, and competencies. The groupings encompass the entire spectrum of career options, providing opportunities for all students and all ability levels. Career Pathways are an important piece of each TEC student’s Educational Development Plan. An EDP is a plan of action in which a student identifies career goals and the educational pathways to achieve them.
